About this episode

The episode discusses Trump's recent political defeats and controversies, including an Iran deal and interactions at the G7 summit.

Trump's having quite the week... He's been defeated by algae (sabotage, obviously), couldn't do up a medal ribbon, got blanked by every world leader at the G7, and then signed what experts are calling a catastrophic Iran deal — in the actual room in Versailles where Germany surrendered after WWI. The pure poetry of it all! Meanwhile Meloni delivers the clapback of the century ("neither I nor Italy ever beg" - Jemma wants it on a t-shirt, immediately), the Strait of Hormuz closes approximately twelve minutes after a ceasefire, and the UN confirms genocide in Gaza. Plus underrateds, Marina making the case for a fifth Trawl, Jemma back on the dating apps for the 98th time, and Jonathan Pie for pudding. Stay hydrated, Trawlers!
